Those two deserve a translation to English.

The comic book was created 20 years ago and is a combination of action and comedy with lots and lots of references. You will see homages to Akira, Ghost in the shell and lots of others.
At the moment the comic book is in Polish -> the comedy is actually very funny. What is also fascinating (in this 20 year old comic) is that it makes a very “local” vision of the future – when you read the graffiti, or the logos, book titles (in background) it is a combination of West and East. Something that probably gets lots in translation (which we dont have at the moment).
Note: this is not related to the Cyberpunk game at all, but as far as I know, it was used as inspiration.
